What did you do to your Prime today?

Yeah good idea; I did similar, pushed a short piece of surgical rubber tubing on the radiator drain spigot, just leave it on. Pushed a plug onto the end to keep it clean.

We’ll never catch up Ray, at 102k… kms, on our ‘10.

 

@jerrymildred reported when working at Tampa Hybrids someone with a gen 4 asked for an EGR cleaning. The car had over 300k miles, and when they got it out found only a light patina of carbon, wasn't really worth it. And I don't believe it was a plug-in either.

 

Ray if you get a chance to look at the Drive Monitor on the MID while showing your lifetime trip, what's the %EV look like for you. I'm currently at 94K miles and showing 110 mpge lifetime. Though my %EV keeps dropping with each road trip we take. Our lifetime mpge was at 133 a few years ago back when our driving was more EV than it is presently.

 

My lifetime mpge is at 110.1 - 94661 miles - 66% EV and dropping faster than I'd like. Cest la Vie ...

 

Ray, any tips or tricks on Howto coolant flush and refill for Prime either engine, inverter or both, without techstream?
My maintenance minder is currently showing a coolant message, even though I don't remember setting it up.
I've been way to swamped the last couple weeks to have even given the minder a second thought, until today.

Has another co incident showing on the gauge cluster late last night, ( after 2 similar 200 mile trips yesterday and the day before ), but I doubt I could explain it in few sentences and have it make sense.

 

Thanks Ray, I got a gallon of longlife a couple years ago when I noticed the engine overflow was a cup or 2 low. Now the engine overflow tank is full to the tube on the engine intake side and just below the full mark in the other half of the overflow tank. It's been that way ever since I added some longlife to the tank.
Thinkin as I write I should probably burp it to see if it levels out before I dive in the drain and refill.
I got the exact same pan as you've got a week or two before you posted the pic and I should be able to find a gallon jug or similar around here someplace too.
The inverter side hasn't been touched and is still as it was when new to the best of my understanding.

I'll definitively take a look to see if I've got printouts for the flush from my last repair manual sub. and if not I'll get another sub and cross my fingers there's a non techstream procedure outlined for either or both sides of the coolant refill. It's good to have the docs on hand and even better ( most of the time) to have some previous experience under the belt, so to speak.
